Some of mine are VISITING EASTER ISLAND.....SEEING THE AURORA BOREALIS (or australis for that matter...)....SCUBA DIVING.....
And, or course, this lil' gem, that someday, I'm gonna own...along with the cool old dodge pickup, for me to drag it around with...
This probably has it's inception from two events I can think of...both T.V. related. The first being the disney cartoon where Mickey and Goofy, and Donald go on a camping trip and they have this neat lil' camper, everything perfectly in its place, like a ships cabin, until the thing gets unhitched on some mountain road, and starts downhill.....The second is when LUCY and RICKY go on the camping trip in their camper (an early winnie)....Neither of these was an AIRSTREAM, but the both had that same compact micro environment thing going on....I do not remember the first time I saw the silver sausage, the same way there are a number of my friends I do not remember meeting for the first time...As far as I'm concerned, I have always gotten a thrill outta seeing one...the way they gleam in the open air, bending and distorting everything, like a big droplet of mercury, with wheels....
Silver has replaced whatever boring color it was as my favorite color, for some time now...I wonder what that says about me? It is the color of VANITY, but also of REFLECTION/MEDITATION....I always said, as a kid, that I would rather have the olympic silver medal over the gold....thus revealing, even at a young age the impractical, and shallow side of my nature...
Anyway, all I know is that if I ever get my head out of my ass and awake to find myself in the above scenario: wind in my hair, sexy man at my side and a BAMBI AIRSTREAM behind me...suffice to say I'll probably be feeling pretty durn good....
The only other thing to top that would be living in a lighthouse....(How could I forget to mention that one?)...even if only for a short time...If anyone knows how I can get that one crossed off my list please let me know....(I'm serious.)
"I WANNA LIVE IN A LIGHTHOUSE....HOW 'BOUT YOU?"
p.s: It really is a shame about ol' Heath...Hope he's doin' better whereever he is now....

a silver sausage!
heh.
sometimes
i think that
either
i made some of
your dreams
mine by
spending
so much time with you
or
we must have
had the same
moments
growing up.
but i have wanted one
since i can remember
(although i am
not sure why)...
but i always dreamed
of pulling it
on the back of
my bug-
a far more
impractical
dream...
until nate told
me it was
impossible.
damn realist.
I can help you with the Aurora dream....we gots lots o' them thar Northern Lights up here. Anytime you want to visit....(in winter, that is) you can stay with me and we'll do some howling at the lights. Native legend forbids whistling at the lights, as the spirits that inhabit them will come down to Earth and snatch away the disrespectful human.
But you wouldn't do that, would you?
Hey Gwen---I know of a silver trailer you CAN tow behind a bug. Nate was wrong. HA!
It's like a giant loaf of silvery wonder bread.
